Chapter 7

Group Chat: "Blue Lock Chaos"

[Your Name]:
Guys, anyone else think Ego secretly watches us like it's a reality show?

Chigiri:
I wouldn't put it past him. Probably has popcorn and everything.

Isagi:
You're not wrong. Pretty sure he enjoys seeing us fight more than our actual football skills.

Bachira:
Plot twist: Ego's a bored villain who just wants friends.

Rin:
Can you all focus on training instead of making stupid theories?

[Your Name]:
Wow, Rin, always such a ray of sunshine. You're welcome for gracing this group with my humor.

Chigiri:
Ooh, Rin and [Your Name] bantering again. What's new?

Bachira:
Rin's not smiling, but I bet his heart is doing cartwheels.

Rin:
Bachira, shut up.

[Your Name]:
😂 Relax, Rin. You're going to scare the poor chat into silence.

Private Chat: Rin & [Your Name]

Rin:
Why do you always have to poke fun at me in the group chat?

[Your Name]:
Because it's fun watching you get riled up. Plus, you need to lighten up sometimes.

Rin:
I'm perfectly fine the way I am.

[Your Name]:
Says the guy who glares at anyone who looks at him for too long. You know, smiling won't kill you.

Rin:
And you smiling at everyone is exhausting to watch.

[Your Name]:
Aw, does someone get jealous?

Rin:
...No. Just focus on training.

[Your Name]:
Sure, sure. Whatever you say, Mr. "I don't get jealous."

Back in the Group Chat:

Kunigami:
Are we ignoring the fact that Rin and [Your Name] spend more time arguing than practicing?

Nagi:
It's weirdly entertaining though. Like a bad rom-com.

Chigiri:
You're not wrong. They've been at it for years, but it feels like...something's changed lately.

Isagi:
Oh, definitely. Rin's been extra grumpy, and [Your Name] keeps baiting him. Suspicious.

Bachira:
My theory: Rin has a crush, and [Your Name] knows it.

Rin:
Stop talking nonsense.

[Your Name]:
😂 Bachira, you're going to give poor Rin a complex.

Bachira:
Or maybe I'm helping him express his feelings.

Rin:
I'm blocking you.

Chigiri:
Honestly, it'd be kind of cute if it were true. Rin needs someone to balance out his doom-and-gloom energy.

Rin:
You're all insufferable.

[Your Name]:
Don't worry, Rin. I'll protect you from their teasing. For a price.

Rin:
...What price?

[Your Name]:
You owe me snacks. Lots of snacks.

Nagi:
This feels like flirting. Is this flirting?

Kunigami:
Sounds like flirting to me.

Isagi:
Yup, 100% flirting.

Rin:
I'm leaving this chat.

Bachira:
He's totally blushing right now.

[Your Name]:
He probably is. But I'll never tell.

Private Chat: Isagi & Bachira

Isagi:
Do you think they'll ever admit it?

Bachira:
Nah, Rin's too stubborn, and [Your Name] enjoys teasing him too much.

Isagi:
It's like watching a slow-burn drama.

Bachira:
Popcorn-worthy.

Private Chat: Chigiri & Nagi

Chigiri:
You think Rin will ever confess?

Nagi:
Too much effort.

Chigiri:
Fair, but still...they're kind of cute together.

Nagi:
Meh. As long as it doesn't mess with practice, I don't care.

Chigiri:
You're no fun.

Later that evening, as you scrolled through the chat, you couldn't help but laugh at everyone's theories. Rin had gone radio silent since his last message, which only added fuel to the chaos.

Your phone buzzed with a new notification.

Private Chat: Rin & [Your Name]

Rin:
You owe me for putting up with them.

[Your Name]:
Oh? And what exactly do I owe you?

Rin:
...Just don't let them get any more ideas.

[Your Name]:
No promises. But I'll bring you snacks to make up for it.

Rin:
Fine.

You smiled to yourself. Rin might never admit it outright, but there was something endearing about how he always came back to you, even when everyone else's teasing got under his skin.

And maybe, just maybe, you didn't mind the chaos as much as you pretended to.
